Show A NEW STATE SEAL FOR UTAH. <br><br> This design has been suggested as a new State seal for Utah. It is appropriate because it affirms three cardinal principles of the Mormon doctrine. <br><br> UTAH FOR MORMONS ONLY <br> IN POLYGAMY WE TRUST <br><br> First: Utah for Mormons only*. The practical working out of this doctrine is illustrated every day in Utah. The iron heel of the Mormon boycott is being felt by Gentiles in all business affairs. None but Mormons need apply. It is the purpose of the Mormon Church hierarchy to stamp out all Gentile influence in Utah, both political, social, mercantile, and professional, and to make it impossible for them to remain in this State. <br> Second: In polygamy we trust*. This is still the corner-stone of Mormonism, for without polygamy there can be no "exaltation" or salvation. <br> Third: It signifies the complete union of Church and State*. <br><br><br> * The following phrases are italicized: Utah for Mormons only; In polygamy we trust; union of Church and State.<br><br> |
